Blip Box — Drum Synth

Yes, you can get very close to the classic Simmons Drums sounds from the 80’s, but this kit has a bit more going for it. Built in options for extreme distortion, for example, can get you closer to a Nine Inch Nails sound if you like. Deceptively simple to use, but loaded with creative possibilities.

I’ve had this app for a few months but am only now really delving in and sculpting sounds and I have to say, having just sold my Syntakt, this makes me feel like I’ve lost nothing, it’s so much fun. I can’t seem to map any parameters to the modulator in Logic Pro (iPad) but other than that this thing is amazing.

Soundshaping enthusiasts dream. Great app, thank you for the universal purchase working on all platforms. I wanted to suggest two things: 1) the ability to lock the pad so that the menu stops popping up while playing. 2) in that locked mode, allow “legato” style playing, by that I only mean that you can slide your finger between pads and trigger them without lifting your finger. This is one of the killer features you can only do on a touchscreen, so that would be awesome to take advantage of!
